Strange...........I couldn't paste links in on XP computer with 2003. You had to open IE and then go to the page......that was the only way to get the link in. Am I making sense? In 2000 you can paste links and email addresses. Maybe I'll try loading 2003 on Vista machine and then see if I can paste links with it. Thanks, Vicki Joe D.

Vicki.... I believe the ad is wrong... the Expression Web profession version is 12.0. I have it and I also have Front Page 2003. I gave the Expression Web a real try since I paid so much for it... but I do not like it as well as I do the Front Page 2003 and have gone back to the 2003. The Expression Web does essentially the same thing... not much different but much more complicated. So I just gave up on it. The Front Page 2003 does layers, too... so I am sticking with that for now. That's just my personal opinion... if I knew more about what I am doing, I might have a different opinion. Ha.

I would think that the library has some of the things that I am looking to link to, however, it appears that all the TX libraries require a library card to look at their databases.
